Venturing beyond conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), international contributors to 23 chapters examine novel micro- and nano-based neuroimaging technologies to diagnose and treat neurodegenerative conditions. Broderick (neurology, New York U. School of Medicine) introduces new tools that work in real time, e.g., BRODERICK PROBE sensors (named after her?), and new variants of MRI and positron emission tomography (PET) studies. Some, such as intrinsic optical signal imaging (IOS), show promise for applications in guided neurosurgery. Diseases surveyed for clinicians and researchers include Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, forms of epilepsy, and disorders of white matter (leukodystrophy). The companion CD contains color versions of selected b&w illustrations in the book.
